Retired NYPD Lieutenant David Goldstein and Bridget on her path from narcotics and SWAT work at the Alachua County Sheriff's Office to advocating for cops as an attorney.
Bridget joins Pat Welsh's T.A.C.O. Tuesday to talk through protecting your career, knowing your workplace rights, and building resilience on and off the job.
Bridget returns to Patrick O'Donnell's show: the rookie year, undercover work, the SWAT team, the harassment that forced her out, and the firm she built in answer.
Where union representation shines, where conflicts of interest quietly derail you, and when outside counsel is worth it for policy fights, IA interviews and body cam disputes.
Station politics can wound as deeply as street calls: write-ups, rumors, unequal scrutiny, EEOC deadlines, and the first practical steps for any first responder.
Shara Goswick and Bridget on the hidden toll of SWAT work, the signs of burnout, and why asking for help should never be a mark against an officer.
Owning mistakes, checking the ego, and reporting what needs reporting: Bridget's SWAT years and why credentials alone were not enough to make a difference.
Conrad Weaver and Bridget on why staying silent costs more than speaking up, and when filing a complaint is an act of self-preservation.
Investigations, agency politics, documentation and privacy, plus the risk of feeding sensitive facts into free AI tools: career protection starts on day one.
